The Duchess of Cambridge is in labour with her first baby. She is | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
in a hospital in London. A spokesperson for Kate and William | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
said that things are progressing as normal. The Prime Minister had these | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
words: A very exciting occasion, and the whole country is excited with | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
them. Rescue teams in western China try to | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
reach survivors and those left homeless by a big earthquake. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
More than 70 people are confirmed dead. Three days of terrible | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
violence across Iraq leaves more than 20 dead. We ask why the surge, | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
and why now. And a BBC investigation on how new | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
EU regulations do little to stop illegal timber reaching shops across | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
:01:08. | :01:26. | ||
has gone into the early stages of labour. The confirmation came from | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
Kensington Palace for hours ago. Royal vehicles had been seen at the | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
hospital at six o'clock this morning. This is the scene now at | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
the hospital in central London, near Paddington. For weeks, her every | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
move has been under close scrutiny, but it had never been confirmed | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
officially when the baby was due. Prince William has taken leave of | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
absence. He will then get paternity leave from the British Armed Forces. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
This report now from our royal correspondence Nicolas Witchell. | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
This was the last time she was seen in public, more than a month ago at | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
the Queen's Birthday Parade Trooping the Colour. After that, for the | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
final weeks of her pregnancy, Kate disappeared from view. She spent | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
quite a bit of time at the Middleton family home in Berkshire with her | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
mother and father. William has also been with her, although last weekend | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
he went off to play polo, competing in a competition in Gloucestershire | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
with his brother, Harry. Now that Kate has finally been admitted to | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
hospital, responsibility for the safe delivery of the baby rests in | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
the hands of the Royal gynaecologists, Marcus Setchell and | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Alan Farthing, who have kept in touch with the pregnancy right from | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
its anxious early days when Kate had to be hospitalised suffering from | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
acute pregnancy sickness. Since then, she has coped without any | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
further difficulties, carrying on with a limited programme of public | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
engagements throughout the spring and early summer. Now, though, her | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
priorities are about to change as she gives birth to a child which | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
will be the Queen's third great-grandchild, and which, whether | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
a boy or a girl, will be third in line to the British throne. A rare | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
moment indeed when the world's best-known hereditary monarchy can | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
look forward to having four generations alongside each other. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
In China, rescuers are searching for earthquake survivors in the western | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
province. The region is mountainous and relatively remote. It was hit by | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
an initial tremor with a magnitude of 5.9. So far, officials are | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
reporting more than 400 people injured, and 70 killed. This report | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
from Beijing came before the latest figure of 75 dead came in. | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
Unfortunately, the death toll keeps rising. Authorities are having | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
trouble reaching the area, because rock slides have affected some of | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
the major roads. It is difficult for emergency vehicles to get through. | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
Many people are focusing on the death toll. Initial reports said | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
that three were dead, and now the number is up to 56, so that gives | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
you a small glimmer that this quake is serious. What is your reflection | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
on how well the authorities in every region are now prepared to cope with | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
this? It seems that the Chinese government have become masters at | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
despatching emergency crews very quickly. The 2008 earthquake, they | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
were dispatched within 12 minutes, and it seems to be a similar case | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
today. Reports came out very quickly that fire trucks were on their way | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
to the affected areas, rescue dogs and many troops, as well. | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
The latest from China. The European Union has just agreed to declare | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
Hezbollah's military wing a terrorist organisation. Ministers | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
say that the armed branch is responsible for terror attacks in | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Europe. Speaking before the decision, Britain's Foreign | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Secretary, William Hague, said he would be pushing for an agreement | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
over the classification. A high priority for the United Kingdom at | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
this meeting today is the designation of the military wing of | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
:05:53. | :05:59. | ||
has bollard as a terror organisation or the European Union -- his | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
Hizbollah. We believe that it is important that Europe gives a firm | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
and clear response on the attacks. Confirmation that the military wing | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
has been outlawed. Voters have given Japan's Prime | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
Minister and his government a green light for the next round of tough | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
economic laws. Experts suggest that the coalition now have control of | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
both Houses of Parliament after Sunday's elections for the upper | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
:06:44. | :06:48. | ||
house. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes is the BBC's correspondence there. What the | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
prime Minister now has is control of both houses, and there will be no | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
election again in Japan until at least 2016. That means he has the | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
power and the time to implement his economic plan, and he says that he | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
is committed to serious and painful structural reform of Japan's | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
economy. What he is likely to face now is opposition not from | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
opposition political parties but from within his own Liberal | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
Democratic party. There are many members of Parliament who come from | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
rural constituencies, who have deep vested interests, who are against | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
opening Japan's economy to greater international competition, and | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
particularly varies resistance to opening Japan's agricultural sector | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
to greater international competition. It is a heavily | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
protected area of the economy. But he says there is no other | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
alternative. If Japan is to rebuild its economy, then this is the only | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
road forward. And there is another factor playing here, and that is the | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
rise of China. Mr Abbey is a nationalist who believes that Japan | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
must be able to stand up to China, politically and militarily, and he | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
believes that only a strong economy can be the basis for that. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Let's get more on the European Union decision to put the military wing of | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
has bollard on the terror list. What has driven the foreign ministers to | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
:08:44. | :08:44. | ||
move this far? On the surface, it is an action taken because of a | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
reaction to terrorism, the bombing in Bulgaria last year, in which five | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Israeli citizens and their Bulgarian driver were killed by a suicide | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
bombing, and this is seen as a response to that, but you have to | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
take this decision in its broader context as well. There is a lot | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
going on in the Middle East. The catastrophic war across the border | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
from Lebanon in Syria, where Hezbollah has been fighting | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
alongside forces of resident Assad. And I think even though ministers | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
will not make this link explicit, this can be seen as a warning shot | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
across Hezbollah's bow to behave better in that broader Middle East | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
and context, as well as the specific case and what many believe is | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
evidence that Hezbollah carried out that case, although they strongly | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
deny it. And what about that argument the din display Missy, you | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
have more chance of having success -- in diplomacy, you have more | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
chance of success if you are seen to understand what both sides are | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
thinking? As ever, the European Union is trying to play a delicate | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
balancing act. It will maintain contact with Hezbollah's political | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
wing, a party that plays a major political role in Lebanon on, and | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
that is critical for countries here. They will break off links with | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
the military wing, but maintain links with the political wing, which | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
is a blurred line, because Hezbollah say that all of their wings will | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
fight for them if they need to. But nevertheless, that is a distinction | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
that the European Union will try to draw. Legitimate financial transfers | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
to Lebanon will continue, so it will be very difficult for anyone in | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
Europe to make specific financial contributions to Hezbollah's | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
military wing, but other types of financial transactions, as long as | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
lawyers consider them to be legitimate, will be continued. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
Chris Morris, thank you. Britain is celebrating its second successive | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
win in cycling's most prestigious event, the Tour de France. Chris | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
Froome's wind has lifted spirits as far away as Africa. He was born in | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
Kenya, and rides for Britain because of his father. As a teenager, he | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
wrote with a local group, and cut his teeth on the high altitude hills | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
around Nairobi. One of his former team-mate says he hopes Chris | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
Froome's victory will bring some attention to Kenny and riders. -- | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
Kenyan riders. The best thing is they will be a lot of attention for | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
our young riders here, and that gives us a chance to approve more | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
and more what we have already been delivering. But he was at Saint | :12:06. | :12:16. | |
:12:16. | :12:16. | ||
Johns College, where he was at school in Johannesburg. Let's go | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
live to their head of sport, who was a teacher when Chris was there. | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
do you remember him? He was a gentleman, an outstanding scholar at | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
the school, participating in all the sporting events. Not one of the top | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
sportsmen, but total involvement, a smile on his face and always | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
positive. What do you remember about him and bicycles? Me being involved | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
in the sport, he came to me and asked if we could start a cycling | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
club as part of our cultural activities on a Tuesday and Thursday | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
afternoon. We don't offer it as a school sport, so he asked if we | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
could set that up, and we did. That is where it all started. What about | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
his physique and his determination? What did you see in him as a student | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
which prepared him for something as gruelling and testing as the Tour de | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
France? He wasn't one of the biggest boys around, so he didn't play in | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
first-team rugby, that sort of thing. But he was always positive | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
and involved in every sport. what it requires is absolute | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
determination. It is a very lonely job being a cyclist, training Day | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
after day for long hours, getting fit. Did you see that level of | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
determination in him? It is difficult at that age, because you | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
don't comprehend that they could go on to that sort of level, but there | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
must have been an intrinsic characteristic in him that has now | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
come to the fore. He was always participating in all events, so his | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
positivity and his approach was there right from the start. Thank | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
you for joining us from the school in Johannesburg. | :14:13. | :14:21. | |
Stay with us here on BBC world News -- temper one. The gruesome | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
discovery in Cleveland, Ohio, the bodies of three women found wrapped | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
:14:34. | :14:37. | ||
in plastic. We have the latest on Pakistani boys spend their days, but | :14:37. | :14:47. | |
:14:47. | :14:48. | ||
these boys are providing much-needed cash for their families. At the | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
break of dawn, they start. These young friends are not professional | :14:55. | :15:05. | |
:15:05. | :15:06. | ||
they have invented one that does the job but is not the safest form of | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
transportation. After battling for two kilometres, they reach their | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
destination. Thick mangrove forests. They will try their luck at crab | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
hunting. It is a dangerous job and the grown-ups prefer catching fish. | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
However, this means the young boys get a much-needed chance to bring | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
some money home to their families after selling these crabs in local | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
markets. With a long iron rod, they pry the crabs from their hiding | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
places. Sometimes they have to insert their arms inside to catch | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :15:51. | ||
them. Without gloves. I get round 10-15 each day, sometimes 20. But if | :15:51. | :15:59. | |
the legs are broken, it is no use. All about hard work wasted. Other | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
times, they try lowering the crabs with the help of small rope. And | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
pieces of fish tied on as bait. catch the crabs and whatever money | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
we have made, we give it to the family. Then my mother makes red and | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
we eat and go back to work. It was a fruitful day. Even though they will | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
only make the equivalent of $3, these little hunters are happy, even | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
with this small amount. Decades ago, the fishermen of Karachi were | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
prosperous as fish were in abundance in the Arabian Sea. Now, it has been | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
polluted by industrial and domestic waste. And the fish have left these | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
waters. And that has brought poverty too many. It means that instead of | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
getting to enjoy their childhood, these boys have to go out and earn a | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:16. | ||
Cambridge is in labour with her first baby. She is in Saint Mary 's | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Hospital in London. A spokesperson said that things are progressing as | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
normal. Rescue teams and western China are trying to reach survivors | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
and those left homeless by an earthquake. More than 70 people are | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
known to be dead. There's been yet more deadly violence in Iraq. Two | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
prisons on the outskirts of Baghdad were attacked by gunmen who were | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
reportedly trying to free the inmates. At least 25 members of the | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
security forces were killed. Separately, in Mosul, at least 12 | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
people were killed when a suicide bomber rammed his vehicle into an | :17:46. | :17:56. | |
:17:56. | :17:58. | ||
army convoy.. For more on this story we can speak to the BBC's Arab | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
affairs editor, Rami Ruhayem. 200 people dead since the beginning of | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
the weekend. What is going on? of what has been going on for about | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
ten years. This is the kind of thing we have been seeing ever since the | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
United States invaded. And the levels differ from time to time and | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
they are all linked at times to different domestic of elements and | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
at times to regional developments. But we have not seen any stop to | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
this violence. Today's violence in Mosul and yesterday 's attack on the | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
prison is slightly different. The attacks over the weekend mostly | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
attacked civilians and the prison attacks or to free inmates, and | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
previous ones were successful but this time the authorities have | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
managed to foil this attack. But they took a lot of pain in Mosul, | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
and many were killed, army and police. What is your feeling about | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
the capacity of the security forces of the political leadership, given | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
just how difficult this has become? The main criticism has been | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
infiltration and accusations that they are infiltrated. In addition, | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
they do not coordinate activities well enough to stop this violence. | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
And all of this is amid deep political divisions, not normal | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
divisions but over legitimacy and whether the new order after the | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
invasion is legitimate or not. It is against this background that perhaps | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
gives the violence more steam to continue unabated as we have seen. | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
What signs are there that this has become more radicalised? If you look | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
at the levels of violence, it is hard to measure. In terms of who is | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
:20:04. | :20:05. | ||
involved? The Islamic state is very much active in Syria. This perhaps | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
indicates mutual spill over. We do not know if Iraq is affecting Syria | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
or vice versa. They are opposed to the political opposition to the new | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
order and they think proper opposition is armed opposition to | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
overthrow the order. A lot of this violence is also aimed at those who | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
oppose the Iraqi government through political means. They are the main, | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
or according to the government, they are behind most of these attacks but | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
there are different narratives about who is really behind this. There are | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
many theories about different geopolitical influences and it is | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
:20:58. | :20:59. | ||
hard to tell which is correct. you very much. A Norwegian woman in | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
to buy at the centre of a rape claim dispute has been pardoned. She has | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
been free to leave the country. The woman had been given a 16 month | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
sentence last week for having sex outside marriage. The verdict | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
sparked outrage in the West. She says she has been pardoned, has been | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
returned. The charges date back to March, when she was reportedly raped | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
by her co-worker. Police in the US city of Cleveland are searching a | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
neighbourhood after the bodies of three dead women were discovered. | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
They'd been wrapped in plastic bags. It is thought they were killed | :21:34. | :21:43. | |
within the last ten days. Jane Little has more details. Police and | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
local volunteers spent Sunday searching dozens of homes in this | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
rundown Cleveland neighbourhood, looking for more possible victims. | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
None have been found. On Friday, they discovered the body of a woman | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
in a garage and, later, arrested a suspect. He is Michael Maddison, a | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
registered sex offender who lived nearby. On Saturday, they uncovered | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
the bodies of two more women. One in the backyard and another in a | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
neighbour 's basement. All were wrapped in plastic bags. They are | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
connected and hopefully this will be at. It will do the best we can to | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
contain this within the neighbourhood. The local Mayor said | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
that Madison suggested he was influenced by a local serial killer. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
Anthony Sobel was sentenced to death two years ago after being convicted | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
of killing 11 woman. Their remains were found in his Cleveland home. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
The city made headlines in another grim case in May, when three women | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
who vanished more than one decade ago were found alive in the home of | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
a real Castro just ten miles from this latest crime scene. He faces | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
multiple counts of kidnapping, rape and murder. Police have not released | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
the names of these three women and say it could take some time to | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
identify them. A BBC investigation has revealed that new EU regulations | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
on logging are failing to stop illegal wood reaching Europe's | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
shops. The Panorama programme has spent six months tracking illegal | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
logs from the rainforest of Republic of Congo to Western Europe. Raphael | :23:21. | :23:31. | |

Rowe reports. I am on a stake out waiting for this ship carrying | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
suspected illegal logs to dock in the west of France. After two days, | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
the cargo is unloaded and we can finally inspect it. The markings on | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
some show it is tropical hardwood from one of two forest cutting zones | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
in the Republic of Congo. It is used by a logging company. Nice to meet | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
you. Investigators say the markings showing the area of origin have been | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
changed. There has been some falsification of the numbers. It | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
looks a little awkward. It could be changed. They believe the stands | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
were changed to show the wood came from an area where logging is | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
unrestricted, when it had actually come from the other forest cutting | :24:26. | :24:35. | |
some. This second zone was subject to an export ban imposed last year | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
after 12 logging companies had exceeded their annual quota in the | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
first five months. They wanted to make it seem like these logs were | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
cut here and not here. Based on the sheer volumes that were coming out, | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
we thought, this does not seem right for possible that they are cutting | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
down that many trees. The company said at the stake had been made | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
because of human error and they admitted the markings we filmed | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
appeared to have been altered. They promised to get back to us with | :25:09. | :25:19. | |

further details but never did. No European Union regulation in related | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
in March helped, they made the responsibility of the importer to | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
make sure they would is imported legally. For the logs that we fund, | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
that was the responsibility of the French importer. We contacted them | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
to see what checks were carried out on sourcing the word, but many | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
questions remain unanswered. I need to as Giesen questions about the | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
wood you brought in? And your due diligence? Should you have done | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
more? Under the new law, environmental campaigners say that | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
more checks should have been made by the importer and French authorities. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
The import of this timber into France should have raised red flags. | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
This is at the highest risk of what these regulations are about. And the | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
operator importing them should have been held to account. Elsewhere, the | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
timber industry as it she and of good intentions but very weak links. | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
Until something is done about this, thousands of trees will be plundered | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
illegally and exported from ports like this, processed into the many | :26:27. | :26:37. | |
